Wick: Scimitar (Wick Files #2) Release Date: April 22, 2026

Published

From 300 meters away, the shot would be clean. Simple. Perfect.

Sam Wick has one job: eliminate the arms dealer selling Stinger missiles to ISIS before tomorrow’s Lufthansa flight becomes a fireball over the Atlantic. Three hundred and twelve passengers. One trigger pull. The mathematics are clear.

But when a twelve-year-old girl runs into his crosshairs—clutching a wooden toy soldier just like the one carried by Amara, the Afghan child he failed to save—the mission becomes something else entirely.

The girl calls him Papa.

Now Wick faces an impossible choice in the labyrinthine chaos of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. Save the daughter of a man selling death to terrorists, or prevent a massacre in American skies. Protect one innocent, or save hundreds.

Some promises can’t be kept. Some prices are too high to pay. Some ghosts never rest.

In the shadow world of TF-77, where America’s necessary violence plays out far from public view, Sam Wick is becoming exactly what his handlers recruited him to be—a cleaner who erases problems without leaving fingerprints.

Even when those fingerprints are written in a child’s tears.

A devastating thriller about the true cost of protection, where the mathematics of morality never balance and the only certainty is that someone always pays.

About Wick Files:

Every legend has a beginning. Wick’s is classified.

Before Sam Wick became the ghost that governments deny and enemies pray they never see, he was new. Raw talent, zero margin for error, and a handler who expected him to figure it out or not come back.

These are those early ops, the ones that built him. Hostile embassies. Cartel strongholds. Former allies turned traitors. From the Swiss Alps to the Venezuelan underworld, each mission is standalone, self-contained, and brutal. Wick follows one rule: complete the mission. At any cost.

Fast, relentless, and unflinchingly real. This is where the legend began.
